Junior Recitals

Scheduled during the Exam Period.

If a student is ill or experiences an unexpected event that prevents them from performing on the date of their recital, the student will be required to perform an extended jury or the student's performance will be cancelled. This decision will be made in consultation with the studio teacher and Studio Coordinator.

Junior recitals are shared by 3 students. Each recital will be a maximum of 90 minutes in length (30 minutes/student), including pauses and set-up changes. All repertoire selections and the length of the recital are to be approved by the studio teacher(s). Junior recitals do not include an intermission.
